With The Sims 4, you can create and run your own restaurant. Much like how you can build structures in Minecraft (especially in the best Minecraft servers, of course), you can design your very own diner or cafe.

In this practical tip, we will show you how to do this.

Create a restaurant in The Sims 4 – here’s how to do it

The Culinary Delights add-on is only playable in combination with the Sims 4 game and allows you to open a restaurant, manage employees, and build a chain.

To create the restaurant:

1. Select the cashier icon at the bottom right. Then choose “Buy a restaurant” in the drop-down menu at the top. You can also buy a restaurant by phone. This is possible in the area with the house symbol.
2. Now decide on a location for your restaurant. You should bring enough space and money so that the restaurant can be properly equipped. To do this, rebook part of the budget. You will be asked this at the time of purchase.
3. Then buy the predetermined items to open the restaurant. This includes at least one sink as well as a toilet, a kitchen professional station, and a catering area as well as a waiter’s station and reception.

The Sims 4: How to Run Your Own Restaurant

Once the restaurant has been created, you must first hire employees. To do this, click on the cash register symbol and then on the employee symbol with the small exclamation mark “Manage employees”. Here are some tips and tricks for running the restaurant:

• Now gradually select chefs, waiters, and reception staff. You will see applicants with different skills and salaries, which is why you should choose wisely. Then you can open the restaurant via the checkout icon.
• You should talk to your employees regularly and make sure they work carefully. You can send them to training courses and motivate them later.
• Also, talk to the guests to see how satisfied the customers are. You can distribute drinks and food for free or check the table.
• You can use the restaurant settings to set the menu. This should always be based on the skills of the chefs in order not to take bad reviews.
• Guests leave a review about the restaurant at the end of the meal. The higher this is, the more satisfied they are.
• You can use marketing to attract more guests. But caution is advised here because, in the beginning, it is sometimes difficult to cope with the onslaught. In addition, you must also pay attention to the higher costs of marketing, otherwise, a minus business will quickly arise.
